Howdy Elaine!
Welcome to planDisney. I see that you and your cowpokes are looking to hitch up your wagons and make your way to The Most Magical Place on Earth. Looks like this dusty trail will be taking y’all to
The Campsites at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort, where you will be able to spend some relaxing time in the closest thing to the frontier this side of Orlando. Let’s see if we can circle these here wagons and get ya an answer for you and the family.
Alrighty, it looks like y’all will be staying at a campsite with your RV and would like to be as close to your daughter and her family, who will be staying at
The Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort. I did more digging than Stinky Pete, and here is what I found. In my experience, there is never a guarantee that resort cast members will be able to fulfill a request, but they usually do their absolute best to sprinkle pixie dust and make some magic happen. Once you have booked your vacation, I would set up a reminder for 60 days prior to arrival. Not only will you want to make your advanced dining reservations at this point, but you can also check in via the My Disney Experience app. It’s important to use the app because it offers the option to submit a room request. Since you will be at the campsites, you will want to request one of the following sites: Spanish Moss Ln, Bobcat Bend, or Possum Path. These three campsites are the closest to the cabins. Your daughter will want to request either Otter Creek, White Tail Way, or Dragonfly Midway. The other thing I would do once you have both booked is to contact
Tickets & Hotels Reservations and ask that a cast member add these requests to your reservation as well. The last thing I recommend is that once you both arrive, you ask one of the cast members at check-in to verify your requests and see if they are able to accommodate y’all.
Before we part ways, I would love to recommend a fun frontier family-style dinner experience.
The Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue is a high-spirited music and comedy revue accompanied by a fantastic feast. This rambunctious show, led by the Pioneer Hall Players, features 2 hours of rousing dancing, singing, and zany comedy. The menu lets you chow down on an all-you-care-to-enjoy frontier-inspired food and drinks. It’s a dinner experience that I hear people talk about over and over again.
Elaine, I hope this helps you and your wagon train have an absolutely magical vacation at Walt Disney World. If you have any further questions, please mosey back by, and everyone here at planDisney will be happy to help.
See ya real soon, partner,
Robert
